Job description

2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Family & Consumer Sciences - Family Studies and Human Development

Apply now Job no: 555570
Work type: Instructional Faculty - Temporary/Lecturer
Location: Sacramento
Categories: Unit 3 - CFA - California Faculty Association, Temporary, Part Time, Faculty - Family/Consumer Sciences

DEPARTMENT: Family and Consumer Sciences

POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool - Family Studies and Human Development

POSITION DETAILS: The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences seeks qualified instructors for courses in the Family Studies and Human Development major. 

We seek instructors from various human service fields with an emphasis on an asset-based approach to understanding lifespan human development, family systems, and family diversity in cultural context. Familiarity and/or membership with the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), Family Life Education, and/or Child Life Specialist, and/or Family Finance is favored.

Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty.

Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.  

Rank and Salary

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department.

Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:

Lecturer A: $5,507 - $6,677

Lecturer B: $6,221 $13,224

Lecturer C: $6,825 $14,523

Lecturer D: $8,593 $15,211

The salary ranges indicated are based on a "fulltime rate" (15 weighted teaching units [WTUs]). A semester's worth of compensation is made up of six (6) payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be prorated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. If you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 x 3/15 (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $1101.40 x 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester. 

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS: Master's degree in Family Studies or Human Development and/or related field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: Doctorate degree, teaching experience at the post-secondary level
